RE: How to Determine Speaker Direction when no Indicators?

Posted by Lew on July 30, 2024 at 13:39:33:
If no writing of any kind, how do you know they are "high end"?
If the manufacturer did not label the cables for directionality, then there is no guarantee that using the direction of the writing (what writing?) gives any clue to directionality, if any. So in the end, just hook them up, choose a direction, and listen. Then after several days, reverse the direction. To get really anal, you would need to do each channel as a separate experiment, since we don't know if the maker had any direction in mind.
